ENZYME entry: EC 3.4.15.1

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/3.4.15.1
Accepted Name
peptidyl-dipeptidase A
Alternative Name(s)
ACE
angiotensin I-converting enzyme
carboxycathepsin
dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase I
kininase II
peptidase P
peptidyl dipeptidase I
Reaction catalysed
Release of a C-terminal dipeptide, oligopeptide-|-Xaa-Yaa, when Xaa is not Pro, and Yaa is neither Asp nor Glu. Thus, conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, with increase in vasoconstrictor activity, but no action on angiotensin II
Comment(s)
  • Cl(-)-dependent.
  • A glycoprotein that is generally membrane-bound.
  • Active at neutral pH.
  • Only single dipeptides are released from angiotensin I and bradykinin because of the lack of activity on bonds involving proline.
  • Belongs to peptidase family M2.
